Abstract: In the present work, an Ir/CeO2 catalyst was prepared by the deposition–precipitation method and tested in the decomposition of hydrazine hydrate to hydrogen, which is very important in the development of hydrogen storage materials for fuel cells. The catalyst was characterised using different techniques, i.e., X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with X-ray detector (EDX) and inductively coupled plasma—mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The effect of reaction conditions on the activity and selectivity of the material was evaluated in this study, modifying parameters such as temperature, the mass of the catalyst, stirring speed and concentration of base in order to find the optimal conditions of reaction, which allow performing the test in a kinetically limited regime.

  • Periodic Trends in the Main Group Elements
    Chemistry of The Main Group Elements 1. Hydrogen Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it accounts for less than 1% (by mass) in the Earth’s crust. It is the third most abundant element in the living system. There are three naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen (1H) - the most abundant isotope, deuterium (2H), and tritium 3 ( H) which is radioactive. Most of hydrogen occurs as H2O, hydrocarbon, and biological compounds. Hydrogen is a colorless gas with m.p. = -259oC (14 K) and b.p. = -253oC (20 K). Hydrogen is placed in Group 1A (1), together with alkali metals, because of its single electron in the valence shell and its common oxidation state of +1. However, it is physically and chemically different from any of the alkali metals. Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals (such as those of Group 1A and 2A) to for metal hydrides, where hydrogen is the anion with a “-1” charge. Because of this hydrogen may also be placed in Group 7A (17) together with the halogens. Like other nonmetals, hydrogen has a relatively high ionization energy (I.E. = 1311 kJ/mol), and its electronegativity is 2.1 (twice as high as those of alkali metals). Reactions of Hydrogen with Reactive Metals to form Salt like Hydrides Hydrogen reacts with reactive metals to form ionic (salt like) hydrides: 2Li(s) + H2(g) 2LiH(s); Ca(s) + H2(g) CaH2(s); The hydrides are very reactive and act as a strong base. It reacts violently with water to produce hydrogen gas: NaH(s) + H2O(l) NaOH(aq) + H2(g); It is also a strong reducing agent and is used to reduce TiCl4 to titanium metal: TiCl4(l) + 4LiH(s) Ti(s) + 4LiCl(s) + 2H2(g) Reactions of Hydrogen with Nonmetals Hydrogen reacts with nonmetals to form covalent compounds such as HF, HCl, HBr, HI, H2O, H2S, NH3, CH4, and other organic and biological compounds.

  • Efficient Surface Formation Route of Interstellar Hydroxylamine Through NO Hydrogenation II: the Multilayer Regime in Interstellar Relevant Ices

Lamberts1, 2, J. F. Zhen1, H. M. Cuppen2, H. Linnartz1 1Sackler Laboratory for Astrophysics, Leiden Observatory, University of Leiden, PO Box 9513, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 2Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, PO Box 9010, NL 6500 GL Nijmegen, The Netherlands Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is one of the potential precursors of complex pre-biotic species in space. Here we present a detailed experimental study of hydroxylamine formation through nitric oxide (NO) surface hydrogenation for astronomically relevant conditions. The aim of this work is to investigate hydroxylamine formation efficiencies in polar (water-rich) and non-polar (carbon monoxide-rich) interstellar ice analogues. A complex reaction network involving both final (N2O, NH2OH) and intermediate (HNO, NH2O·, etc.) products is discussed. The main conclusion is that hydroxylamine formation takes place via a fast and barrierless mechanism and it is found to be even more abundantly formed in a water-rich environment at lower temperatures. In parallel, we experimentally verify the non-formation of hydroxylamine upon UV photolysis of NO ice at cryogenic temperatures as well as the non-detection of NC- and NCO-bond bearing species after UV processing of NO in carbon monoxide-rich ices. Our results are implemented into an astrochemical reaction model, which shows that NH2OH is abundant in the solid phase under dark molecular cloud conditions. Once NH2OH desorbs from the ice grains, it becomes available to form more complex species (e.g., glycine and β-alanine) in gas phase reaction schemes.

  • Dihydrazides - the Versatile Curing Agent for Solid Dispersion Systems
    Dihydrazides - The Versatile Curing Agent for Solid Dispersion Systems Abe Goldstein A&C Catalysts, Inc Abstract This paper will introduce dihydrazides, a relatively obscure class of curing agents useful in virtually all thermoset resin systems. First described in 1958, by Wear, et al.(1) dihydrazides are useful curing agents for epoxy resins, chain extenders for polyurethanes, and excellent crosslinking agents for acrylics. In one-part epoxy systems, depending on the backbone chain of the chosen dihydrazide, Tg's over 150°C and pot life over 6 months as cure time of less than a minute can be seen. In acrylic emulsions, dihydrazides can be dissolved into the water phase and serve as an additional crosslinker, as the emulsion coalesces and cures. As a chain extender for poylurethanes, dihydrazides can be used to increase toughness and reduce yellowing. Introduction O O | | | | Dihydrazides are represented by the active group: H2NHNC(R) CNHNH2, where R is can be any polyvalent organic radical preferably derived from a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acid esters are reacted with hydrazine hydrate in an alcohol solution using a catalyst and a water extraction step. The most common dihydrazides include adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), derived from adipic acid, sebacic acid dihydrazide (SDH), valine dihydrazide (VDH), derived from the amino acid valine, and isophthalic dihydrazide (IDH). The aliphatic R group can be of any length. For example, when R group is just carbon, the resulting compound is carbodihydrazide (CDH), the fastest dihydrazide. Or R as long as C-18 has been reported as in icosanedioic acid dihydrazide (LDH). Some of the more common dihydrazides are represented in Figure 1.

  • Hydrazine, Monomethylhydrazine, Dimethylhydrazine and Binary Mixtures Containing These Compounds
    Fluid Phase Behavior from Molecular Simulation: Hydrazine, Monomethylhydrazine, Dimethylhydrazine and Binary Mixtures Containing These Compounds Ekaterina Elts1, Thorsten Windmann1, Daniel Staak2, Jadran Vrabec1 ∗ 1 Lehrstuhl f¨ur Thermodynamik und Energietechnik, Universit¨at Paderborn, Warburger Straße 100, 33098 Paderborn, Germany 2 Lonza AG, Chemical Research and Development, CH-3930 Visp, Switzerland Keywords: Molecular modeling and simulation; vapor-liquid equilibrium; Henry’s law constant; Hy- drazine; Monomethylhydrazine; Dimethylhydrazine; Argon; Nitrogen; Carbon Monoxide; Ammonia; Water Abstract New molecular models for Hydrazine and its two most important methylized derivatives (Monomethyl- hydrazine and Dimethylhydrazine) are proposed to study the fluid phase behavior of these hazardous compounds. A parameterization of the classical molecular interaction models is carried out by using quan- tum chemical calculations and subsequent fitting to experimental vapor pressure and saturated liquid density data. To validate the molecular models, vapor-liquid equilibria for the pure hydrazines and binary hydrazine mixtures with Water and Ammonia are calculated and compared with the available experimen- tal data. In addition, the Henry’s law constant for the physical solubility of Argon, Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide in liquid Hydrazine, Monomethylhydrazine and Dimethylhydrazine is computed. In general, the simulation results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. ∗ corresponding author, tel.: +49-5251/60-2421, fax: +49-5251/60-3522, email: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction On October 24, 1960, the greatest disaster in the history of rocketry, now also known as Nedelin disaster, occurred [1–3]. At that time, the Soviet newspapers published only a short communique informing that Marshall of Artillery Mitrofan Nedelin has died in an airplane crash.
